Hi all,
First, I want to thank you for stopping by and I appreciate any advice you provide during your stay.
I've lurked for a while and finally signed up in Oct 2016, after signing up I thought it would be a great idea to get y'alls guidance with what I'm trying to achieve for my home network/storage build out for 2017.
Below is my current setup and phase one of the build out.
Current Setup
1. Router: 3yo ASUS (includes wireless)
2. Storage: AMD Sempron 145 in an old chassis with a single 2TB WD Green
Objective
Budget
No budget but if needed, then no more than $2500 for the first two systems listed below

2. Storage: AMD Sempron 145 in an old chassis with a single 2TB WD Green
Objective
- All systems must be low-power & high-performance.
- Have everything rack-mounted and in a place that the wife is happy with and you can't hear it (current plan is to build a dedicated room in the garage with it's own air circulation).
- Build a pfSense router to replace current router/wireless (will be using Ubiquiti APs)
- Build a new storage unit to handle upcoming improvements (will be used for Plex, file server and surveillance).
